Conclusion

Clearly the bleak future for humanity that is depicted in WALL-E is not definite.  However, it should be seriously considered and serve as a warning for today's generation. Although our dependence on technology hasn't reached the extent of hovercraft chairs, we are well on our way.  As we forgo human interaction and replace it with some technological stimulation, we give up a small part of our humanity. The ability to have face-to-face interaction with another human is invaluable, and fleeting. We must be conscious that new and improved technology doesn't always mean technology "better" for our lives.  As consumers we decide what products become relevant in society, and we can equally decide to make products irrelevant.  Hopefully our current generations and those to come can bring genuine human interaction and relationships back into relevancy and hold on to all of the distinctly human characteristics that we currently take for granted.
